STOVE OR RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 598,548, dated February8, 1898.

Application filed June 2 9, l 8 94.

To a whom, it may concern.-

' Be it known that we, FREDERICK WILL and ARTHUR B. CLUNIEs, ofRochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Stoves or Ranges; and we dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification, and to the reference-numerals marked.thereon.

Our present invention has for its object to provide in a singlestructure devices for cooking by the use of either gas or hard fuel, ascoal, whereby when it is desired to let the fire in the stove die outthe operation of cooking and heating water can be carried on without thenecessity heretofore existing of employing a separate and specialconstruction of gasstove, and whereby also, when desired to increase thecapacity of the stove, both the coal and gas heated portions may be usedwithout interference; and to these and other ends it consists in certainimprovements in construction and combinations of parts, all as will behereinafter fully described, and the novel features pointed out in theclaims at the end of this specification.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stoveprovided with our improvements Fig.2, a rear view of the same; Fig. 3, avertical sectional view taken on the line a: w of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, ahorizontal sectional view taken on the line y 3 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5, avertical sectional view on the line 2' z of Fig. 1; Fig. 6, a similarview on the line a b of Fig. 3; Fig. 7, a section on the line 0 d ofFig. 1; Fig. 8, a section on the line cf of Fig. 4 with the damperclosed.

Similar reference-numerals in the several figures indicate similarparts.

1 indicates the body of the stove, which may be of any suitable orordinary construction, having at the rear the vertical smoke-pipe 2 andthe chambers 8 and 4, supported upon the said smoke-pipe and upon theback 5, correspondin g in position and external appearance to the hotclosets ordinarily found on stoves or ranges of this class. The chamber3, lo-

cated at the left of Fig. 1 and shown in section in Fig. 3, is what Iterm a broiling- Serial No. 516,083. (No model.)

chamber, having a foraminous door 6 and in the upper portion two heatinggas-burners 7, supplied with gas from a pipe 8, said burners being soarranged that the mixed gas and air is burned on the under side, afterthe mancommunicating with a horizontal flue 14, eX-

tending over the said closet and provided at or near its center with apartition or plate 15, as shown in Fig. 4, and at the rear of this fine14 is provided an opening leading into the smoke-pipe and adapted to beclosed by means of adamper 16. The upper part of the chamber 3 isprovided with a series of apertures 17, opening into the flue 14,whereby the products of combustion and the odors arising in thebroiling-chamber 3 may find their exit through the damper 16 when open,as shown in Fig. 4. The passages or flues 12 and 13 also form exits tothe smoke-pipe for any odors arising from the top of the stove duringthe operation of cooking by the use of coal in the fire-box of the stovein the usual manner. A deflecting-plate 50 is preferably arranged abovethe burners, as shown in Fig. 5.

Arranged at the right-hand end of the stove in Fig. 1 is an ordinary gasstove or heater embodying two or more burners 20 supplied 1 with gas bya pipe 20, and from beneath the top plate extends a pipe 21, leadinginto the flue 14 at the top of the closet 4, as shown in Figs. 2, 6, and'7, said pipe serving to permit the passage to the said flue of anyodors and the products of combustion from the burners at the end of thestove.

22 indicates the hot-water tank or boiler, having at the top the usualcold-water inlet 23 and at or near the bottom the exit-pipe 24,connected to the water-front 25, located in the fire-pot of the stove 1and adapted to be heated by the fire therein. From said water front orback, as the case may be, extends a pipe 26,

described, nor is the utility of the top of the communicating with coilsof pipe 27, located in a suitable casing 28 and adapted to be heated bygas-burners 29, the exit-pipe 30 from said coil passing into thereservoir 22 with a slight rise, as shown.

It will be noted that the water-heating coil 27 is slightly above thelevel of the top of the water-front 25 and that there is a rise in thepipe 30 from this to the receptacle 22, thereby providing for the propercirculation of water. The top of the casing 28 is connected by the pipe31 with the upper portion of the broiling-chamber 3, whereby theproducts of combustion from the said casing will pass to said chamberand through the apertures 17 therein to the flue 14 and thence into thesmoke-pipe of the stove. The burners 29 of the water-heating coil aresupplied with gas from the pipe 32, as shown in Fig. 2, from which pipethe other gas-supply pipes lead, as also shown in said figure.

From the above it will be seen that when it is desired to use the stovefor cooking in the ordinary manner, by the use of coal in the fire-pot,this may be done without in any way interfering with the gas heatingappliances, the supply of gas being cut off from the stove by means ofthe cook 33, and the damper 16, leading from the top of the hot closetinto the smoke-pipe, being of course closed, as otherwise it wouldoperate as a check-damper and retard the combustion. When, however, asin summer, it is desired to avoid heating up the room, as will be thecase when coal is employed in the stove, the gas may be turned 011 andthe burner 29 lighted if it is desired to provide hot water, the burners7 lighted if it is desired to broil in the closet 3, or the closet 4:,which now operates as an oven, may be utilized for baking by lightingthe burners 9, the damper 16 being of course open and allowing theproducts from all the burners to pass into the smoke-pipe, therebypreventing any odor from the products of combustion.

It will be noted that the structure of the stove itself, as far asexternal appearance is concerned, is not altered by the attachment stovefor receiving vessels or cooking utensils abridged and also, if desired,the stove may be used in the ordinary manner in connection with the gasappliances, thereby increasing its capacity.

The gas-burners employed may be of the usual or any desired type inwhich the air and gas are mixed previous to arriving at the place ofburning after the manner of the common Bunsen burners.

We claim as our invention 1. The combination with a coal-burning stoveor range having a smoke-pipe 2 and two high closets or chambers 3 and 4above the stove-top, a heating gas-burner beneath the chamber 4, andfiues12 and 13 open at the bottom and leading from said burner aroundsaid chamber, a heating gas-burner 7 within the other chamber, a flue14L connecting with the smoke-pipe of the stove into which thelast-mentioned flues discharge, passages 17 between it and the chambercontaining the heater, and a damper 16 controlling communication betweensaid flue and the smokepipe, of the water-front 25 of the range, awater-supply pipe 24: therefor, a water-heating coil 27 connected withthe exit-pipe 26 of the water-front, a gas-burner 29 for heating it, acasing for the coil and burner, and a fine 31 leading from said casingto the flue communicating with the smoke-pipe, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination with the coal-burning stove or range having thesmoke-pipe, and the high closet or chamber 4 above the top of the stove,flues 12 and 13 at the sides of said chamber, open at the bottom, and agas heating-burner 9 beneath the chamber, of a flue 14 at the top of thechamber communicating with the smoke-pipe, a damper 16 between thesmoke-pipe and flue, and the partitionplate 15 in the flue in front ofthe damper, substantially as described.
